The European Commission last week (26 June) announced plans to make it possible to register websites under the .eu domain using Cyrillic and Greek scripts, allowing individual and business users alike to use .eu in all 23 official EU languages.
When the new rules come into force "later this year", it will become possible to display special characters in central European languages as well as produce websites in the Bulgarian, Greek and Cypriot alphabets.
